Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
Looks rough.

It’s a project.

“Looking to sell my 1942 Ford GPW project jeep. Attached are photos of it together whole, and in parts (its current state). I’ve invested a lot of time and money into this project, and unfortunately my new job doesn’t allow me much time to work on my project. Looking to get out of the project while I still can and to make back some of the money I invested into it. Here’s the list of everything I have:
-primed GPW frame with the axles still attached, it is sitting on MB leaf springs, and I have extra leaf springs in the garage. Ive got the drive shafts too
UPDATE: Still Available.
Looks in good shape.

“Old Jeep very cool old Jeep”
UPDATE: It’s listed at $6500 on Facebook (thanks Terry).
Listed as a 1946, I think I see a hint of a GPW cross member.

“Runs good, clean, new paint. Must see.”
Seller notes you’ll need a trailer; perhaps it needs some work?

“1944 Ford GPW Jeep.
Serial # 241158.
Odometer reads 14,086.
Powered by a 1960s 90 HP Chevy 4 cylinder that runs good (these are very good engines).
T90 3 speed with 2 speed transfer case.
Correct WWII Ford GPW chassis with larger steering box moved forward on the frame.
All of the sheet metal and the combat wheels are new reproduction.
The tires are new.
This Jeep was being built and was not completed.
The wiring will need to be completed, some peripheral like trailer plug and the paint needs to be completed.
It is a good looking Jeep and would make for an easy project and a nice looking WWII Jeep.”
UPDATE: As Rob points out in the comments, this is a 1942, not a 1943.
This GPW is was recently bought and now is being resold. It’s in good shape, though it lacks some correct details.

“Up for sale is a 1943 Ford GPW with “Willys Jeep” L134 Go Devil engine. I recently purchased this vehicle with the idea of leisurely traveling around town/country side. However, after taking my wife out in it a few times, she’s not “in to it”. Minimal safety features and people into their phones more than driving have given her reservations about about setting foot in it again. Listed below is a description and history.
Bought recently from a man in Franklin, Tn. He had it for 2-3 years and drove it infrequently, stating that he might have put 40 miles or so on it. It mainly sat in his large garage. It was professionally restored not long before he purchased it, approximately 4-5 years ago. It starts, runs, drives, and shifts nicely. Has numerous and desirable “F stamps” scattered about. The authentic-looking oil pressure gauge is inaccurate so I have a universal gauge to show the oil pressure is good. A few blemishes scattered, but looks great. Everywhere you drive, heads turn. I hate to sell it, as I have always wanted one, but wife wants it “gone”. Videos can be sent if requested.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Jay shared this GPW. It will need a little work before it runs.
“Helping my parents sell their 1942 Ford Military Jeep. Has all new whe bearings. Comes with a wheel cylinder kit. Has a 1967 Ford 200 engine. Manual 3 speed. 4×4 with lockout hubs. Needs a starter, gas and antifreeze and will work. Is rough for its age but would make a good hunting vechile or mountain trail. Unsure of miles. Asking $4000 obo.”
